Fan-shaped dish

Manufactory Vienna
Factory director Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier period Austrian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 201

This dish and its Japanese prototype show a creative amalgamation of form and decoration from several sources. The shape is a Japanese invention, with precedents in paintings on fans and in fan-shaped paintings pasted on screens. The Three Friends motif of pine, bamboo, and plum has its origins in Chinese literati painting. The Du Paquier factory made the only known copies of this Japanese model in Europe.
